So we've all heard about the stupid Kickstarter project (anyone want to fund my next holiday btw?!) but there are some awesome & definitely worth donating to projects too. I thought it would be great to have a thread for people to share the ones they've discovered and/or donated to.

I think she may have baked stuff for the Omaha vegan bake sale. Are you positive that the bakery would be vegan? Because I'll totally donate!

That's what I thought from reading the Kickstarter page but now I'm re-reading I'm not 100% sure. I've sent them a message to check & I'll let you know. If they are I'll be donating too.

Here's the response I got from them...

Yes. Everything, cupcakes, bread, cookies are vegan. There is one cupcake that has New Planet Gluten Free beer (which i haven't verified as vegan yet, but I'm fairly certain it is.)

And if down the road we did make something non-vegan (which we don't currently have plans to do) we label all of our products with the ingredients, and i like to include which brands just so there is certainty.

...it makes me think that yes, the bakery will be vegan but that maybe they aren't necessarily vegan themselves?

Wanna help Moose's Kitchen open a vegan, organic, local food cafe in St. Leonards on Sea? The contribution perks are pretty dependent on you being local but this is a great project & I think there are quite a few PPKers who either live in the South of England or visit regularly.

They're trying to raise £5000 to fit a kitchen in the space they've already secured & if this goes ahead they'll be open in March. They're going to be a community cafe with loads of cool things going on like bread baking and cookery courses as well as training placements for catering students.

I'm definitely going to be donating as soon as I have some spare cash next week.

It's a four issue comic series about animal activists rescuing exploited animals. The art looks pretty cool and there should be some attention on aboveground activism as well. The writing in the preview did seem a little blunt, pandering to the unsympathetic a bit perhaps, but I'm willing to bet a few bucks they'll get it right as the series progresses. Check it out.
